Has anyone run these cheap rims?
Looking to see if they fit or need spacers.
For winter tires:

You may consider these forged instead:

E63S
I believe Jimminez is running TE37's in 19x9.5 Et35 square. Look up his thread to confirm. However, if I were to get an economical set of wheels for winter... I'd go with these: http://www.modbargains.com/Forgestar...9x10-19x11.htm.. Custom sizes at a "bargain" price.

For that kind of money, why not just pick up an OEM set that's on sale in the marketplace?

I ended going with Replika new matte black 157’s for CAD$170 each, which is only CAD$130, including shipping! $520 for a set of winters is good in my books. And if I ding one, it’s only $130 to “fix” it lol.

I'd be more concerned with bending or damaging the wheel......that isn't a wheel built to last IMO. Gook luck!

Just had my oem stock 10 spokes repaired under my wheel tire warranty ... after 4 years and 30,000 miles had two small bends ... one in each of two rims .. easily fixed by the benz outsourced wheel guy and car is smooth as silk

the oem 10 spokes though not forged ... are STRONG rims

Aren't the OEM wheels titanium? That's why they list for 6k a set. I doubt the aftermarkets are.

not to my knowledge. They can be titanium in color but that's my understanding. I think they are a traditional alloy

they are $6k a set because Benz is ridiculous

Wheel warranty from my dealer was $4,210 plus 13% HST for only 36 months! I passed.

How much are you guys paying for this?
